A deeply contemplative work devoted to thinking from one of the foremost literary figures of contemporary France. Dying of Thinking is the ninth volume of Pascal Quignard’s Last Kingdom series. It explores three themes: how thought and death coincide, how thought is close to melancholy, and how thought takes shelter near traumatism. One who thinks, Quignard shows us, “compensates” for a very ancient abandonment. Even as a dream is a meaning whose disorderly, condensed, paradoxical images intuit something which has preceded sleep and which returns in them, thought is a meaning which uses words that are written, re-transcribed, dissected, etymologized and neologized. Throughout the Last Kingdom series, Quignard has sought to experience another way of thinking, one that has nothing to do with philosophy, a way of attaching himself “literally” to texts and of progressing by decomposing the imagery of dreams. Dying of Thinking is the heart of this quest.

Frukt och bär, alltså. Finns det något godare? Finns det något enklare? Att plantera ett fruktträd eller bärbuskar är en engångsinvestering som håller livet ut. Från första jordgubben i juni till sista äpplet som hänger kvar i november har du egna frukter och bär att njuta av. Det är inte bara oerhört gott att äta, det man har odlat själv det är också bra för både den egna hälsan och miljön. / John TaylorDenna inspirerande handbok är fullproppad med både handfasta råd och Taylorska anekdoter. Lär dig allt om frukter och bär som du kan odla själv i din trädgård eller på balkongen från jordgubbar och blåbär, vinbär och krusbär, äpplen och päron till nektariner, hasselnötter och kvitten. Du får ta del av John Taylors långa erfarenhet och bästa odlingstips: hur du planterar, beskär, förökar, sköter och skördar. Du får också tips om olika sorter och vad du ska göra när plantorna har drabbats av skadedjur eller sjukdomar. JOHN TAYLOR är trädgårdsmästaren som följare av SVT:s långkörare Trädgårdstider har charmats av under många år. Få kan matcha en så stark personlighet med ett så gediget odlingskunnande. När John inte spelar in TV-program, poddar eller föreläser vårdar han sin koloniträdgård i Malmö och planterar äppelträd till sin egen ciderproduktion. 2022 gav han ut boken Taylors trädgård. Röster om boken:»En trevlig inspirationsbok som kan läsas med god behållning oavsett förkunskaper. Boken är fylld av vackra och läskande foton på frukt och bär tagna av fotografen Pernilla Bergdahl. Texten flyter på bra och beskrivningarna är enkla och okomplicerade. Betyg 4/5: Mycket bra.« Bibliotekstjänst

A captivating and wide-ranging interpretation of accidental dismounting. In Pascal Quignard’s writing, philology hunts for wild game in a dark forest. The Unsaddled, which features horses as its central figure, is no exception. Taking off from puns, multifarious imagery, and metaphorical meanings—“to be baffled,” “to be thrown”—that the book’s title provides, Quignard focuses on life-changing moments. We meet George Sand (whose father died after being thrown from his horse), Saint Paul, Abelard, Agrippa d’Aubigné, and countless other writers, philosophers, theologians, or kings who fell off their horses—not to forget Jean-Jacques Rousseau, who was knocked over by a dog. Being “unsaddled” can also be associated, as Quignard shows in regard to Nietzsche, with an “overturning” of values. Scenes of war, hunting, “fleeing” or sexuality—“When lovers have a horse ride, they gallop in another world”—come before our eyes, each time from those unsettling vantage points that Quignard knows how to find. As ever, he ranges far and wide in his intense quest, taking examples from across human history, from the neolithic age to his own childhood memories of postwar Le Havre in northern France.
